Because people want them. They excite people and bring people into the showrooms (even people who can't buy them either for $ reasons or practical reasons). Engineers like designing performance cars. Auto executives like building performance cars. How many more reasons do you want??? However, most manufacturers aren't going to risk bankrupting themselves by telling people they can go race their cars on a track somewhere.

When I was a kid I use to sit for hours in my Mom/Dad's cars (and we had some great ones) as well as my Uncle's '67 GTO and dream of the day I could drive something like it.
